If we start a "cookies" thread, will we have to move to "off topic?"

Since we're discussing food...and getting back to the topic...

Everyone here loves to talk about their Camaro.

I think we should all have fun doing it, and that includes not getting all holier than though on the younger people here. Who cares if their parents bought their car? Really....WHO CARES!!!!!!!! I sure don't. If you do, you have your priorities all wrong.

I mean...what we should really be discussing here are important topics like what that purple thing SSooch has in his garage, and what he's doing to deface Stonehenge.

Or cookies!

Or the firmness of Bonnie's melons!

Or even how big, thick & juicy my bratwurst is!

You see....the main reason for us all to be here is to have fun. Got it?

Trying to be on topic:

@ OP. I understand exactly what you're saying and agree. But, I don't think making a post on the topic will necessarily make it go away. Obviously you know this, and I thank you for your effort, but I believe it's better to just treat everyone the same way on these boards no matter the age. Ban trolls, flamers, bullshitters, and all the like no matter the forum thread or topic.

Cheers

this is like an opinion parade .....good thing i got great seats

Listen, we were all 16 year olds too. When I was 16, I had a Volvo station wagon, then I got a 2001 grand am GT.

Then when I was 19, being a car salesmen, my father bought me a 2004 sierra (20s, flowmaster, you name it), I helped him with the payments, but in no way did I flaunt my ride like a 16 year old with a camaro.

No 16 year old should have their hands on a machine like that, that's the parents fault.

I am 26, finally got my real career started as a cop, make good enough money to buy a 1LT camaro and I am happier than a clam because I did it myself. I didn't need help. It's a self-respect matter. Any 16 year old who brags about having a Camaro, should really look at themselves and say "Did my parents do me any favors by buying this for me, or should I work for the thing myself."

My father managed Chevy dealers for years, and had the money to buy me anything I wanted at 16, but he made me drive my mothers Volvo. And let me drive whatever I wanted when I worked with him. Sure it was a tease, but he showed me that if you work hard for what you want, and if the timing is right, then not only will the people around you be appreciative of your effort and your reward, but you can hold your head high and say "I deserve it, because I worked for it.

"America is the land where we judge you by what you do, not by who your father was."
-Colonel Josh Chamberlain, 20th Maine, US Civil War

I think we need to judge people for who they are, not by what their father bought them.

Far too many tragic stories and endings. There's something to be said for responsibility.

I agree. However, currently I know way more reckless 20, 30, 40, and 50+ drivers than 16 y/o drivers.

Actually I think some of it could be the reasoning of the parents who are the ones that want to do the bragging. So THE PARENTS can go to their adult friends and say, 'Look what 'my' kid is driving.' I've seen that around here, with lots more than cars ....its called conceitedness, egotistical, braggerts...all the same. Sad. And, then of course, that attitude is filtered down through their children. Even more sad.
